2. Tim Duncan, 2003 vs. New Jersey Nets

Tim Duncan was at his very best during the 2003 Finals. The Spurs have won four titles with Tim Duncan on their roster, but never leaned on Duncan as much as they did in 2003. Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili were a part of the 2003 Spurs but had not developed into the stars they would later become. David Robinson was a part of the 2003 Spurs as well, but his skills were in decline and he retired after the Finals.

The Spurs went up against an excellent defensive team in the New Jersey Nets and Duncan was absolutely spectacular. The Nets had two great post defenders inKenyon Martin and Dikembe Mutombo, but they were no match for one of the best power forwards to ever play the game.

Duncan averaged 24.2 points, 17.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game in the 2003 finals. Duncan had one of the best games of his career in the series-clinching Game 6 victory. Duncan had 21 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists and eight blocks.

Duncan also completely dominated Kenyon Martin on the defensive end of Game 6, forcing him to shoot an atrocious 3-for-23 from the field. Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls defeated the Utah Jazz for the second straight season to capture their sixth championship.
